Can my body absorb that much?

[Catzo1282]

Whats up fellas? Well I have another question. How much protein can I take it at once. For example if my protein shake is 60g/4 scoops per serving, should i split it? Or screw it and have it as much as possible? I am 5'10 154lbs and I try to get around 180 grams of protein. :angry:

i am not sure how much protein the body can absorb at once. i will say however that 180 of protein is not enough for you. your trying to bulk up right? the general rule of thumb for protein is to consume 1.5 or 2.0 grams of protein per pound you weigh.

154 x 1.5 = 231 grams of protein daily
154 x 2.0 = 308 grams of protein daily

hope this helps you out.

and bump for catzo's other question.

"how much protein can the body absorb at once?"

[FKITLETSGO]

there are many factors that attribute to available protein absorbtion.
1. protein synthesis and absorbtion rate can be changed by anabolics...amount of activity....water intake......fluid retention....ect.. ect... the best way to gauge is trial and error.

Thanks, Im just going to stick with the 250 grams or + of protein as much as I can.
